Kid President and Grover need your socks to help fill the world with goodness from head to toe.
The big-hearted duo -- with help from their friends, Guy Smiley and Bert -- launched a telethon to spread the message of Socktober across the Internet. The campaign, started by Kid President co-creator Brad Montague in 2010, asks participants to launch a sock drive in their local communities to help provide clothing that's essential to millions of homeless people living in the U.S.

Montague hopes Socktober will inspire more people to engage in simple, kind actions within their communities.
"Two simple things we can all start with are to look and to listen,” Montague tells Mashable. "Four years ago, we started Socktober after looking around and discovering there were many people who lived in the exact same zip code as us, but didn’t have a place to sleep at night. It was tough to learn that. We listened and found ways we could help them. This set us out on a mission to becoming better neighbors in whatever ways we could. It’s all about actually seeing the people around you, listening to them and finding ways to show them love."
The video above is the second in a series of three, featuring the cute-o-meter-busting pair of Kid President and Sesame Street's Grover. If a monster and a kid can do something to help people, you can too.
